If one arm doesn't spin, something has broken in the linkage. Its a fairly common problem. Get a new/used linkage, and that will remedy the problem. No, you can't get individual parts and pieces. They are only sold as linkage assemblies. Try on car-part.com or just get one from your local dealer.

Its actually several pieces but its all linked together. Should be two metal bars, attached to the two actual wiper mechanisms that the arms mount to. Each mount pedestal has 3 10mm bolts (two total) and it clips on to the wiper motor on the pass side.
